If you guys are up to it, I'll start out with a few entries. My only request is that we keep it on track with fairly Nostalgic cars... let's say, representative of 1985 and older? This topic can include various diecast scales, as well as Tomica, Choro-Q, Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Corgi, Diapet, Dinky, and various other brands of tin and plastic toys

Here goes...

I'll start with something called the The Japanese Cars Collection by Hachette Fujingaho Collection / Norev Miniature Collection.
This line contain various Japanese makes and the cars come in a large box with a magazine. Everything is in Japanese, but this is still a cool set to collect. I have to limit myself to just the toyotas, but check out their website for other offerings.

I must have about 2500-3000 toy cars of which there must be at least 300 Nissans and maybe 3-400 other Japanese makes. I like toy cars...they're easier to collect than full size ones (although I do my best to collect those too ) Here's some of which pics are handy on photobucket...

Just picked up these two in 1/43. Both by Norev ...Nissan Sunny (B10) and Nissan Violet SSS (KP710)...

Some 1/43 Pit-Road Sunnys (I love these!)...

Got dozens more 1/43 but those were the only pics I have online right now.

Got lots of pics of small scale ones on there though though. Tomica Nissan Cedric (330)...

Tomica Marusen Technica Sunny (KB110)...

Konami Nissan Violet SSS...

Very poor Datsun 126X by SZE (got these by Matchbox, Aguti and Metal Box too)

Tinplate 710 is awesome.... I haven't got pics, but I have heeeaaps of stuff... one of each example from the Konami range, a stack of 1:18 stuff incl. kyosho kpgc10's in both #15 and #6 livery, heaps of other skylines, 6 AE86's, a few S30's bla bla bla.....

solidstripe.... isn't it a Cresta, that bosozoku style 1/64? I've got the same one....

Oh yes, toy cars I've been collecting few years now, started with 1:18 scale but smaller scales got my attention very quickly. My collection contains all kind of passenger cars, not just japanese. Tomica is one of my favourite brands, happy to see that new releases comes out constatly. Here is few of my favourites.

I've moved this post because I realised it was in the wrong thread...)

I'm currently working my way through the Ebbro Oldies range but I also like these 1/64 cars from Tomica in their Limited Vintage and Neo range. I have these on another forum but I thought you guys would like to see them too

The level of detail has to be seen to be believed on a model that is barely 2 inches long! Some unusual subjects too which are seldom seen in 1/43rd which is my normal thing.

The copper Gloria is beautiful as are these two Skyline saloons from the days when a dump valve had yet to see the light of day!

Isuzu Bellett which is more normally seen in Coupe form as a model:

Same can be said for the Hino Contessa - this one is a beauty:

One of my faves is this C30 Nissan Laurel:

The Hillman Minx built under license by Isuzu:

This Mazda Carol is so tiny!!

Toyopet Corona

Three oddballs in a row:

One of the best in Tomica's Limited Vintage range is this early 70s Galant. I had to get both colours of this one:

Here's the Galant with a late 70s Corolla (I'm rubbish at Toyota model codes, I only know KE10!!):

There are also some 80s cars in their Neo range such as this Mazda 929 variant:

And this amazingly detailed JDM spec Corolla. Check out the 16-valve badge on the rear window!!

I've never actively tried to buy diecast Japanese stuff, always preferred kits where I can have my own input (or spending money on brochures), but in the course of hunting for Matchbox Superfast cars I did end up with a few Tomica:

It's been a constant source of regret that what this Skyline set cost me didn't get spent on old brochures, though admittedly it is nice:
